NEED TO LOSE 100 LBS OR MORE !

Wuhu! New thread! NEW THREAD!

Tuesday goals - 1finish truck repair. 2 find Ford driveline engineer and kick him squarely in the... 3 finish at least one big project this month (paint or gutters and downspouts) and 2 smaller ones (i.e. the yard sale sideboard needs to be finished so does the antique dresser). 4 keep going to the gym.

Note to self, Gilligan never gets off the island, Walter is still making meth, Jax is still in the gang, GET UP! GET OFF THE COUCH! GET MOVING! Self, that is all.

I think if I had been on the island with Gilligan, there would have only been 3 or four episodes. After he screwed up our rescue a few times I probably would have traded him to the head hunters for some fresh meat, and solved 2 problems with one human sacrifice.

Thanks for the well wishes everyone! We're really low key so it was just us and my daughter. We then had a picnic.

Tuesday goals - with working so much, my exercise has been slacking, but I did borrow TurboFire from a friend so we're going to start that when I get home in the evenings. My husband is as motivated as I am to lose the weight and get into better shape.

Hello I am new to this site, I just found out I have diabetes and the Nutritionist showed me the website so far it is pretty neat - I need to loose a bunch of weight but more importantly I need to stay on a healthy plan i have a goal set already it is to do what the doctor says and to rediscover something I have not seen for years - MY FEET I know they are down there somewhere

Tuesday is goal update day, well as I have just returned to mfp and started using the forum I supposed I should set my goals for August...so:

Exercise: 5 x 30 minutes sessions each week
Nutrition: At least one portion of fruit/veg with each meal

Lets see how I get on with these

Wow looks like there is many men in this group Aug, Doug, SaniD and me all early posters.:laugh: ( but we know better than that )
Tuesday goals- I need to get a better grip on the Dash eating plan. I am going to do some exercise today even if it kills me.

Welcome all you that are getting healthier to the new thread

Let's make this thread as good as the last or better

Good morning!

@Aug I love that show...and yes, looks like Walter will keep on making meth. I finally just bought an ellipitcal machine and put it right in front of the TV...at least that way I don't feel quite so guilty keeping up with the latest drama in the drug world! ;-)

@gigi Welcome! I need water as a goal, too...that's one of the hardest things for me to keep up with.

@sarahm Welcome!

@Joyce I love to bake, too and have had some success with lower fat/lower sugar items. Also, last year my youngest son had to go on a completely gluten-dairy-soy-free diet...so there was a lot of creative cooking going on! I often think about your question - being the biggest person in the room - and feel an obvious sense of relief any time I'm NOT. As if that makes it OK somehow. It just makes me aware of how much mental/emotional energy is used up in the constant comparisons to others. (sigh)

@celtic I think I should have an exercise goal for the week, too...it's a crazy week and then we are going out of town, so I really need to get it in.

Tuesday goals: 1) water, water, water - I'm so bad at this! 2) exercise every day before we go out of town...Monday, check! Three to go.

OK...off to fill my water bottle.

New here but not to MFP (6 months or so). Have lost 30 so far with another 60-70ish to go so this looks like a good place for me to find some motivation :-)

A fitness goal for the week....3 times at the gym
A nutrition goal for the week....more water and less Coke Zero. I'm addicted to that stuff although I guess there are worst things!

Looking forward to getting to know you all!

I'm new to the group, but I've lurked around the old thread more than a few times. Anyway I'm younger than most it seems so far (only twenty-two), and trying to find a support system since the one I have offline seems to fall apart on a regular basis.

As for my goals this week, I want to be more active while meeting my minimum calorie intake. This is a big one for me since I was a lot more active than normal last week but wasn't meeting my minimums which in turn lead to a gain. It wasn't huge and I am slowly coming down and recovering back into losing. Lesson learned is all I can say about that. (I actually ate out of macros to make myself have something to burn off probably not a good way to look at it but if I want to burn off anything it's the ice cream sundae.)

My other goal is to finish the day with under 2500mg of Sodium consumed for the majority of the week. I did it yesterday so here's to being on a good start. I'm hoping I'll be able to continue.

Last goal is to wake up before 10am. Downside of summer and unemployed status is I see very little point in being awake prior to that which eats hours of daylight that I could be using for other things. I have two alarms set to try and get me up but so far I'm failing at it, but one day I'll get up between 7:15 and 7:45 and do a little dance.

Welcome! The people here are amazingly supportive. I would try to change your perspective on this point. You have a MAJOR incentive to get up right now. Unemployment is the perfect time to take advantage of some of the free full body workouts on youtube. You have LOTS of free time to research nutrition online and to do serious body maintenance

Now that I'm doing it with a full time job I *REALLY* wish I had kicked myself into gear when I was unemployed last year. If I had, I would be at my goal now and just worrying about maintenance. :yawn:

Welcome all the new members

Tuesday goals - I MUST get my water intake up. I'm barely getting 5 glasses a day. Also to go strong on the exercise this week. Every morning yoga and 3 nights a week something really taxing. Gettirdone!

I made it! I hate I've been gone so long from the original thread, but I"m still kicking butt!

Tuesday goals: Keep on keeping on with what I've been doing. It seems to be working, so not going to change it until I have to.

For those who haven't heard, (I'm proud of this, so bear with me!), I am out of the 300's, never to see them again!!!!!! It's about 2-3 weeks later than I had hoped, but it happened!!!

Aug Goals:

1. Find a way to eat healthier on the weekends. Who knows how much I could be losing if I get that in hand!!!
2. By the end of the month have my intensity on my workouts up, and/or 40 mins instead of 30.

Tuesday goals: To work out and stay under calories.

For August: To eat 5 servings of fruit/veggies everyday.

When I started at the end of January I wanted to lose 100 pounds, I have now lost 42 only 58 left I am almost under 200 pounds which I haven't been in at least 7 years.

i do!! i feel so sad today, just by knowing how i look, and themore i look , the more sad i get,, im in,,minus 100 it is,,, starting my massive work-out tonight, enough is enough!

Tuesday Goals: My goals for this week are to exercise three days at thirty minutes each. Post at least once each day on the forums.

Yesterday wasn't bad for a first day back. I did go over calories but know exactly the problem. Today I modified my breakfast and brought it to under 300 calories. Asked hubs to please not put cookies in my lunch. (His daughter baked them the night before and he thought I would like them...which I did...but they were calories wasted.)

I am so excited to re-start this journey. I know that it is not going to be easy but if I can 1)be honest with myself and with others regarding my eating habits, and 2)re-discover my love for exercise I can do this!!!

My other goal is to finish the day with under 2500mg of Sodium consumed for the majority of the week. I did it yesterday so here's to being on a good start. I'm hoping I'll be able to continue.

i need to have a goal about my sodium too. it's always too high. that's what comes of being a bad cook, for me. i just make everything from cans or packages or whatever.

Hello everyone! I've been so busy... mostly watching Olympics ho ho. My Tuesday/August goals are: nutrition -- more fruit and veg because it's been rubbish recently. Exercise: still keeping up with 30 minutes of cardio every day. I'm only doing it by doing Wii Free Step while watching telly though...
